Funded Activity Summary

Below-ground processes: filling the missing gap in predicting the response of grain production to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) in southern Australia. Climate change is expected to have major impacts on the Australian grains industry, which is worth $7 billion annually. Although increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) are expected to initially increase plant productivity, the realisation of these productivity benefits is expected to be limited by water and/or nutrient deficiencies. Given our low rainfall and infertile soils, there is considerable uncertainty about the applicability of overseas data used to model how Australian grain systems will respond to climate change (especially elevated CO2). This project will lead to better predictions of the impact of climate change on Australian grain systems so that appropriate adaptation responses can be developed by government and industry.
